So you think you’re hardcore? (Yamantaka Eye operating a backhoe at Hanatarash performance)

zoya: Cannot get over just how awesome our Musical Landscape map is. Drag around! Zoom in to the brushstrokes! Click names to play music! Nicholas’s illustration is gorgeous and witty, and it just gets better as more of the landscape comes into view each day. We currently have a monitor devoted just to this map. It’s that good.

"There’s a sweetness in clumsy efforts
Stubborn hope always trumps lazy greed
And gentle hearts tear vulgar castles down."

espionage monday



Here is a nuanced, elegant article discussing the function of fashion in espionage circles.

And here is a video demonstration of a spycraft game that uses qualifiers like “the sims meets counterstrike” and “turing test in reverse”.

Enjoy your monday, and watch out for the low polycount coworkers in single-breasted tweed suits.

thanks, guys

Aaron Meyers’ live interactive visuals for Jamie Lidell

Pretty neat interactive visuals by Aaron Meyers for the fantastic Jamie Lidell. Also: that crowd sucks.

OBLIGATORY BAGEL COMPARISON POST (Montreal Edition): Fairmount on the left, St. Viateur on the right. Fairmount were doughy, moist and overly sweet. Pass. As you can see, this location also had terrible ambient light! St. Viateur’s were basically the same as their rivals in any qualitative sense, but that same chewiness, sweetness and ropy texture somehow all came together into a real goddamn delight for the senses. I’d intended to leave half for later staleness comparison, but that wasn’t happening. Doesn’t match my mental Platonic Bagel, but a damn good bread product nonetheless. Winner by a landslide: St. Viateur. Lewkowicz was so right to strike out on his own.

Sound portait of Montreal’s Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier by Navet Confit (part of the MUTATIONS architectural sound walk at MUTEK 2011). Downtown Montreal is stacked high and deep with massive, expensive and thoroughly incongruent music venues that make easy fodder for both architectural criticism (I’m not exactly sure if the Théâtre Maisonneuve was intended as a terrifying Brutalist monolith or if that is the inevitable outcome of questionable 60s ferroconcrete construction techniques) and for interpretation as brooding atmospheric soundscapes, staccato percussion flying overhead. This track is kind of remarkable because it’s a commissioned, architecture-inspired piece set in a very Music For Real Airports kind of environment that doesn’t sound like Autechre. The NPR-style intermission (grab the whole set to listen to those) leading into the actual track instructs you to follow the circular corridor framed by the flying buttresses ringing the building, and to fixate on the repetitive features as you go. It’s hard to describe in any sensible way, but the visual and musical rhythms align so well that you end up at the terminal point (“the green doors”) exactly as the final delay notes are fading out and with, somehow, a serious sense of accomplishment. ▶ 13 - La Salle Wilfrid
